BMW seems to be in its element, I mean with such great customer service who wouldn’t purchase a Bimmer.

BMW provided me with great customer service, the experience was unlike any I have received before. Throughout my research with customer service from car dealerships BMW has been the best thus far; can you believe that they still send me BMW service and support updates. Plus, their response is also immediate and efficient. Out of all the car dealerships I have been to BMW has been the only dealership to persistently follow up on my needs regarding the car they provided me with.
The BMW 135M/140i is a great and elegant car but does it deliver? Yes, greatly to be exact. Although the car may have less leg room behind the driver and passenger seat the sport+ mode will swiftly ease that thought out.

The premium performance hatchback has a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo engine and with 320hp meaning we're now sitting with 225kW and 450Nm.While the rest of the segment has stuck to highly-tuned 2.0-litre engines, BMW happily kicked that out the door resorting to what it does best; the straight six-cylinder engine making it a true contender. With fuel consumption set at around 10.5L/100km its quite adequate given the nature of this performance vehicle.


The M135i/140i is not a full-on M-power car but it does make an impression with its performance. The car is equipped with different driving modes; Eco Pro, Sport & Sport Plus, the Eco Pro mode is what mostly caught my attention as BMW Sales Exec. Katlego Matee said “it’s like you playing a game as you drive” it monitors your driving and gives you points, those points will then be added up to a number that tells you how much petrol you have saved throughout the drive.

The car also has a car sim card of which you can use to contact your In-case-of-emergency contacts should you be in danger. The sim card will be activated using the SOS smart button which is located next to the cabin lights.

 The car also has a semi auto drive system and collision control, it offers all round safety. Its goes from 0-100kph under 5 seconds, the car feels easily capable of reaching its 250kph claimed top speed. BMW also offers the Harmon Kardon audio system so be sure to pump up the volume.
The BMW 1-Series range starts from R342 000 for the three-door 118i, while the range-topping M135i goes for R560 243. The price includes 2-years/unlimited km warranty and 5-years/100 000 km maintenance plan.

The old VW Polo models are slowly fading out as Volkswagen stretches its R-Line. It comes with a new engine, a 1.0 TSI with an output of 81 kW and 200 Nm.

The Polo 7 GTI 2017 model is one car South Africans will not get over anytime soon. It’s basically the modern BMW 325i.s “Gusheshe” that our fathers screamed at with excitement in the 90’s.

Image
The Polo 7 GTI is a beaut, one for the books to be exact. The paint colour, the LED lights, the rims, its whole look and feel will have its owner with a smirk, especially in traffic. With a four cylinder 1.8-Litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine it kicks out 141 kW of power at between 4 300 and 6 200 rpm from the 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed DSG transmission kicks out 5 400 to 6 200 rpm. It should be faster than its Polo 7 Rline sibling. The variations differ due to technical differences in the design of the transmissions. The same applies to the torque values: the DSG delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1 250 and 5 300 rpm whereas the manual gearbox version delivers 320 Nm between 1 450 and 4 200 rpm. Fortunately, the differences in torque have no effect on the vehicle's performance. Volkswagen claims fuel consumption to be at 5.6L/100 km with the 7-speed DSG and 6.0L/100km with the 6-speed manual. The Polo 7 GTI accelerates from 0 to 100
